Put the value of x as 1.
3 × 1 + 4y = 7
3 + 4y = 7
4y = 7 - 3
4y = 4
y = 4/4
y = 1
Hence, the first solution is (1,1) x = 1 and y = 1.
Now, put the value of x as 2.
3 × 2 + 4y = 7
6 + 4y = 7
4y = 7 - 6
4y = 1
y = 1/4
Hence, the second solution is (2, 1/4) x = 2 and y = 1/4.
(ii) It is given that,
x = 6y
Put the value of x as 0.
0 = 6y
0/6 = y

Hence, the first solution is (0, 0) x = 0 and y = 0.
Put the value of x as 6.
x = 6y
6 = 6y
6/6 = y
y = 1
Hence, the second solution is (6, 1) x = 6 and y = 1.
(iii) it is given that,
x + πy = 4
Put the value of x as 0.
0 + πy = 4
y = 4/π
Hence, the first solution is (0,4/π) x = 0 and y = 4/π.
Put the value of y as 0.
x + π × 0 = 4
x + 0 = 4
x = 4
Hence, the second solution is (0,4) x = 0 and y = 4.
(iv) It is given,
2/3x – y = 4
Put the value of x as 0.
2/3×0 – y = 4

Hence, the solution of -4x + 3y = 12 is x = 0 and y = 4.
Put the value of y = 0
– 4x + 3 × (0) = 12
– 4x = 12
x = -12/4
x = -3
Hence, the solution of -4x + 3y = 12 is x = -3 and y = 0.
(iii) Given, 2x + 3y = 24
Put the value of x = 0
2 × (0) + 3y = 24
3y = 24
y = 24/3
y = 8
Hence, the solution of 2x+ 3y = 24 is x = 0 and y = 8.
Put the value of y = 0
2x + 3 × (0) = 24
2x = 24
x = 24/2

8x – ay + a2 = 0
8 × (1) – a x (6) + a2 = 0
a2 – 6a + 8 = 0
We know that the equation is a quadratic.
By the factorization
a2 – 6a + 8 = 0
a2 – 4a – 2a + 8 = 0
a(a – 4) – 2(a – 4) = 0
(a – 2) (a – 4) = 0
a = 2, 4
Hence, the values of a are 2 and 4.
